VLC just won't play

Postby Krakatoa » 23 Sep 2010 21:01

I'm on Vista, but I'm unaware if it's a specific OS problem, so I post it here.

It was playing fine a few days ago, but today, when I sit down to watch a movie, it "loads" the duration, shows the subtitle's "title" and then nothing else. The first file was mkv, then I used an avi file, but nothing happened. Plus, the VLC icon stays in my side taskbar with the info from the firs file (i.e. when I mouse over, it says sympathy for mr.vengeance, which was the first movie I tried). Help?

I can't find it. I unhid the hidden folders, opened the appdata folder in my user account and looked inside the Local and locallowfolder.

Found it, deleted it (it was in the Roaming folder). Uninstalled, reinstalled. Problem stays.
